Introduction:

It was the custom of his life guerrilla Che carefully noted in his diary his observations of everyday life.

What could keep such notes then served to write his great historical narratives of the revolutionary war in Cuba, full of revolutionary content, pedagogical and human.

"If we want to express how we aspire to be our revolutionary fighters, our members, our men, we say without hesitation of any kind: to be like Che! If we want to express how we want the men of future generations, we must say: to be like Che! If we mean what we want to educate our children, we say without hesitation: we want to be educated in the spirit of Che! If you want a male model, a model of man who belongs to the future heart say that this model without a single blemish in its conduct, without a single blemish in its attitude, without a single blemish in its actions, that model is Che! If we want to express how we want our children to be, we say the whole heart of passionate revolutionaries WANT to be like Che! " (Fidel Castro at the solemn ceremony in honor of Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara)

It is the model of the future, it will be the standard by which all of society as a whole builds its future. This does not mean that now, every day, not to see thousands of men and women in the world to be like Che: decent, caring, detached from the material, frugal, brave, combative, humble, anti-imperialist, ie true revolutionaries like Che.

Another expression of the creative thought of Che, his authenticity as a revolutionary, what he understood as the need for revolutionary change to dignify the human being, it was their ideas of fighting for American independence. (Ideas that had already born him long before his arrival in Cuba, Che had already studied the work of Marti, knew of his deep revolutionary humanism and lived experiences in their journey through almost all of Latin as a doctor. Ideas that did reality when he went to fight in the jungles of the Congo) for him without freedom, political independence, social justice could not exist, there could be human improvement. The need for it was the creation of the new man

A man with a different concept to that formed by the capitalist society, a man with new values ​​such as austerity, sacrifice, selflessness, personal example and so on. On this issue said "This is not how many pounds of meat is eaten or how many times a year someone can go for a walk to the beach ... it is that the individual feels fuller, with much more internal richness and much more responsibility ... it is still necessary to deepen his conscious participation in all steering and link it to the need for technical and ideological education ... "

Development:

The formation of the guerillas is a constant appeal to the conscience and honor of every man. Che knew touching the heartstrings of the revolutionaries. When Marcos, repeatedly admonished by Che, was warned that he could be dishonorably discharged from the guerrillas, said: "Before shot", later gave his life heroically. Similar was the behavior of all men who put their trust and to which he was cautioned on the need for some form or another in the course of the struggle. Fraternal and human head, he knew also be demanding and at times severe, but it was in first place and more so than with others, to himself. Che discipline based on the moral conscience of the guerrilla and the tremendous strength of his own example.

Che also believed to participate in the guerrilla detachment fighting in different Latin American countries and the Bolivia guerrilla revolutionary school were learning would in combat. At his side would have to help in this task, along with Bolivia, a small core of experienced guerrillas, who were almost all his comrades in the Sierra Maestra during the revolutionary struggle in Cuba, whose ability, courage and spirit of knew sacrifice. Of these men none hesitated to respond to your request, none left, no surrender.

It became a real expert in guerrilla warfare. Planned with extreme care and skill to the economy and supply, because he said that this is fundamental to the guerrillas. Although the number of men who had in the month of September, some weeks before his death, was very small, the guerrillas still maintained its ability to develop and some Bolivian paintings, such as Inti and Coco Peredo brothers, they were already noting with unparalleled views of heads. Higueras was the ambush, the only successful action against the Army detachment commanded by Che, killing him and wounding the forefront of several men in broad daylight, when they moved to a rural area of ​​more political, so they created an insurmountable situation .

Deeply impressed by this feat handful of revolutionaries. The only fight that unfolded hostile nature of action is unsurpassed heroism page. Never in history has such a small number of men undertook a task so gigantic. The faith and absolute conviction that the great revolutionary capacity of the peoples of Latin America could be awakened, the self-confidence and the decision is delivered to the target, gives us the proper perspective of these men.

Che said one day to the guerrillas in Bolivia: "This type of struggle gives us the opportunity to become revolutionaries, the highest rung of the human species, but also allows us to graduate from men, unable to reach either of these two stages should say so and stop the fight.

Those who fought with him until the end were awarded these honorable epithets. They symbolize the revolutionary type of men who at this moment in history calls for a really tough and difficult task: the revolutionary transformation of Latin America.

To combat this enemy requires the kind of revolutionary and men who spoke Che. Without that kind of revolutionaries and men, willing to do what they did, with no intention of facing enormous obstacles they had, without the decision to die that accompanied them at all times, without the deep conviction of the justice of their cause and unshakable faith in the invincible power of the people they housed, compared to power as Yankee imperialism, whose military resources, technical and economic, are being felt around the world, the liberation of the peoples of this continent would not be achieved.

The feat made this handful of men, led by the noble ideal of redeeming a continent, will remain as the highest test of what will be, heroism and human greatness. Example to illuminate the conscience and will chair the struggle of the peoples of Latin America, because the heroic Che cry will reach the receptive ear of the poor and exploited by those whom he gave his life, and many tend to take up arms and weapons win their final release.



On October 7, Che wrote his last lines. The next day a large enemy force made contact with them. No survivor of those who fought in the positions closer to Che, who did the most to protect the retreat to a safer place of his comrades, until he falls wounded.

It has been pointed out that Che was wounded fighting until the barrel of his M-2 was destroyed by a shot, making it useless altogether. The gun he carried was not "magazine". These incredible circumstances that could have explained to capture alive.

The final hours of his life in the hands of their despicable enemies must have been very bitter for him, but no man that Che better prepared to face such a trial.

Che staring at his death as natural and probable in the process and tried to emphasize, especially in his later papers, that this eventuality would not prevent the inevitable march of the revolution in Latin America. "Our every action is a battle cry against imperialism ... Wherever death may surprise us, it is welcome, provided that our battle cry has reached a receptive ear and another hand to wield our weapons. "

Not to fight will always be more than enough excuses at all times and under all circumstances, but it is not the only way of ever obtaining freedom. Surely pseudo-revolutionary critics, with their eternal political cowardice and lack of action survive the evidence of their own stupidity.

Conclusions:

Archetype intellectual revolutionary, his work on the action and the revolutionary theory are extremely valuable. His exemplary life is invaluable and heroic weapon wielded by teachers in the education of our children, and we want our young people to have that instrument, have that gun in his hand, but nothing more than to enrich our culture, but no more than to force us to meditate, but nothing more than to deepen our revolutionary thought.

Working with the knowledge we have about the valuable work and life of Che is an indestructible foundation for classes as the best medium of instruction used in classrooms.

For training and education of children and young people is absolutely essential to the knowledge of the life and work of Che, because of its importance and its extraordinary effect. Che had a broad vision of what should be done and knew that to reach the development had to study, investigate, learn and apply new technologies.

In the letter he left to their children from Cuba to fight in Bolivia they stated:

¨ ... His father was a man who thinks and acts like, you've been true to his convictions.

Grow up as good revolutionaries. Study hard to master the technique to dominate nature ... ¨

And that we have done, try to learn and get into the incredible advantages and utilities that offers the new technologies, leading to schools, to education.

The always inspiring example of Che, the revolutionary intransigence, its values, creative thinking, was present when the Second Secretary of the Party, comrade Raul Castro said in the main ceremony to mark the 54 anniversary of the jump to the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, held in Camagüey on July 26, 2007 "... The greater the problems or challenges, more organization, more systematic and effective ... requires working with a critical and creative spirit, avoiding stagnation and schematics, never believe us that we have done is perfect ... we are on duty to question how much stuff we do, do it for ever more, to change concepts and methods.
